A recent post on a widely-visited online discussion forum revealed an unexpected surprise for a newbie player in the wildly popular game ‘League of Legends’. She couldn’t understand why she, a novice, was ranked higher than her experienced boyfriend in the game.
What’s Going On?
- The player community’s response suggests there may be deep-seated issues with the ranking mechanism in ‘League of Legends.’
- Users’ comments hint at frustration and confusion over the game’s algorithm, hinting that it often ranks novice players highly, thus skewing the game’s difficulty for these players.
- The subject post has sparked a broader discussion on the ways the game’s ranking system could be updated or improved.
Community Reaction
User SkeletronDOTA remarks, ‘Because this ranking system is a joke.’ This sentiment is mirrored by another user, who blatantly states, ‘The system is so broken.’
Mixed Feelings
While many players are bewildered, others find humor in the situation. As one user, Ieditstuffforfun, cheekily expresses, ‘You’re clearly a prodigy, keep playing and head to challenger queen.’
Is a Change Needed?
Many players are calling for a ranking system overhaul. As FUNNY_NAME_ALL_CAPS, a seasoned player suggests, ‘The genius at Riot who thought giving new accounts inflated MMR would solve smurf issues should be fired.’
In light of these sentiments, it’s clear that even the Land of Legends isn’t free from life’s quirks. Sometimes they make for a great story, other times they just leave us scratching our heads. No matter what, though, they’re a big part of what makes the gaming world endlessly entertaining.
